Getting dismayed with the mr2s i am seeing...

[scottedlin19]

Yea if there is someone close that would be good.

Only problem is as it isnt taxed would need to deffo sell my car to then insure it and tax it.

Also its around 100-120 pounds in fuel and 115 in tax straight away.. So would want it at a good price really.

Okay cool, well if somebody on here living in cornwall is willing to that would be great?

[g.lewarne]

where is the car?

im in plymouth but fancy a road trip. all i ask is that i be paypal'd for my petrol (approx 20 quid to get to and from most of cornwall to take a look)

[jack-p]

okay cool. i'm in st austell.
just down to the op then

[g.lewarne]

ok then, up to the OP now if he wants me to go look

[scottedlin19]

That might be a good idea, but give me a day or 2 to decide as may be getting an offer on my car..

[g.lewarne]

yep no worries, just send me a PM if you want to go ahead mate

There's a lady looking to sell a UK '96 car here (look for a thread asking for pricing advice) with less than 50k on it... azure blue and totally standard by the looks of it.

R.

[scottedlin19]

Yeah I know have spoked to her but she is around 200 miles away.

[HighwayStar]

...and? Fantastic drive home with it then....

[scottedlin19]

Or a 400 mile total drive for a car that I might not end up buying... Plus I cant get temporary insurance as im under 21.

Why always look on the negative?

Azure blue is a lovely colour and you could speak to your insurance company and tell them that you're going to look at a car etc. I'm pretty sure they can insure you there and then if you want (ask them).

[scottedlin19]

Yeah im sure they can insure me there and then I have done that before but I would be driving my current car down there, so it wouldnt be possible to drive 2 cars back

[HighwayStar]

Meet halfway?

[scottedlin19]

That would be the only option and probably get my dad or my girlfriend to drive me there so I can drive the mr2 back on my 3rd party comp insurance or insure my dad for a day on it.

This is what I did when i traded my Corsa for my MR2. paid about £60 extra.

Get a train there if possible - book in advance and its probably cheaper than driving anyway.

Done that myself before. Jumped on a train, drove back. Done

I've been all over the place with friends to get cars, take a mate. Went all the way up to Glasgow to get an Escort Cosworth a few years back

[g.lewarne]

ask them to bring it up then you can take them back home
